WASHINGTON, DC (KELO.com) — The U.S. House of Representatives will begin a two-hour debate on a sweeping, $2.2 trillion coronavirus aid bill Friday morning, despite doubts over whether it can quickly pass on a voice vote or will be delayed into the weekend.
While most of the House’s 430 members are in their home districts because of the coronavirus outbreak, several are expected to travel to Washington for a vote including Congressman Dusty Johnson.
Dusty tweeted this morning, “A bipartisan (and socially distanced) flight to DC this morning to vote on Coronavirus economic relief.”
The leaders of the Democratic-majority House want to pass the bill on Friday, or at the very latest on Saturday, hoping to provide quick relief to Americans as deaths mount and the economy reels from the pandemic.
